Chapter 111

Billie: "Mr. Sheppard?" I heard a worried woman calling.I was dizzy, my whole body had lost control of itself.I looked up and realized that I was lying on the hospital floor. The doctor stood over me and was measuring my BP... She and a nurse helped me up and got me into Adie's room, so I can take some rest on the free bed next to her. Mike: "Good afternoon, Happy New Year!! We're looking for Mr. Armstrong and Miss Nesser." "Happy New Year!! We don't have a Miss Nesser or Mr. Armstrong here, Sir," the nurse said after going through her files. "Oh sorry, Mrs. Sheppard!! She is married now..." "Wait... Yes, Mrs. Sheppard is in room 107.She was brought by Mr. Sheppard, not Mr. Armstrong." "Mr. Sheppard ?!" I asked confused. "Mr. Sheppard passed away two weeks ago..." The nurse looked at me in shock.At that moment I realized that it was probably Billie who, for some reason, said his name was Mr. Sheppard.The nurse was about to call security when Kevin managed to convince her not to.He explained to her what was currently going on and that he was not doing well.We sincerely apologized to her and made our way to see them. "Why do you think he lied?" Kevin asked confused.I shrugged my arms because I was irritated as well.As we came down the hall, we saw Billie come out and collapse right away. "Billie!!" I said worriedly and ran to him.He cramped up as if his stomach was hurting.Kevin softly propped him up and asked what was going on. "She... she is pregnant... from him..." he mumbled quietly to himself.Kevin & I looked at each other in shock. I took him in my arms because I knew how he was feeling right now. To hear that she was married had already broken his heart... and now she was expecting a baby from him... "Does Adie know it?" Kevin asked dazedly. Billie shook his head and leaned back "No..." "Somebody has to talk to her... this will be tough news for her Billie..." "I can't do this, Mike... I need some time. Please..." he begged through tears. "Don't worry, I'll take care of Adie and talk to her... Kevin? Please stay with him. Don't let him alone!!" Kevin nodded and took Billie in his arms, while I went to Adie's room to tell her she was pregnant from Charlie...
